PASS QUEST 3 mm Offset Hollow Narrow-Wide Chainring for Race Face MTB Cranks
Lightweight Strength. Enhanced Chain Retention. Built for Aggressive Mountain Biking.
The PASS QUEST Race Face Direct-Mount Narrow-Wide Chainring is precision CNC-machined from high-strength 7075-T651 aerospace-grade aluminum alloy.
Featuring an optimized hollowed-out construction, reinforced enclosed structure, and an extended 8.5 mm tooth profile, this chainring is engineered to deliver excellent structural rigidity and reliable chain retention while minimizing unnecessary weight.
Designed for compatible Race Face mountain bike cranksets, it is ideal for riders who demand durability, stability, and dependable performance on challenging trails.
1. Precision CNC-Machined Construction
Manufactured from a solid aluminum plate using precision CNC machining, the chainring features a carefully optimized backside structure.
The rear sections are hollowed out and chamfered to reduce unnecessary material while maintaining structural strength and rigidity.
The reinforced enclosed design adds very little weight while providing additional structural support, making it suitable for demanding mountain bike applications.
2. Extended 8.5 mm Narrow-Wide Tooth Profile
Featuring an extended tooth profile with an optimized height of 8.5 mm, this chainring is designed to improve chain engagement and retention.
The extended teeth reach deeper into the chain links, helping maintain secure chain contact and reduce the risk of chain drops during:
-
Rough and technical trail riding.
-
Jumps and drops.
-
Aggressive mountain biking.
-
High-vibration riding conditions.
3. High-Strength 7075-T651 Aerospace-Grade Aluminum Alloy
Precision-machined from high-strength 7075-T651 aerospace-grade aluminum alloy, this chainring offers an excellent balance of strength, rigidity, and durability.
The carefully engineered structure provides reliable support for demanding riding conditions.
The surface undergoes an anodizing process to improve corrosion resistance and protect the aluminum against oxidation and everyday wear.
4. Reinforced Structure with Precision Chamfering
The reinforced enclosed construction enhances structural support while keeping additional weight to a minimum.
Carefully machined chamfered edges reduce unnecessary material and create a clean, refined appearance.
This design balances rigidity, durability, and weight reduction for demanding mountain bike applications.
5. Chainring Offset Options
This product features a 3 mm offset, designed for compatible 148 mm Boost mountain bike setups.
We also offer alternative offset options:
-
3 mm Offset: This product. Designed for compatible 148 mm Boost setups.
-
6 mm Offset: An alternative for compatible 135 mm quick-release / 142 mm non-Boost configurations.
-
0 mm Offset: An alternative for compatible 157 mm Super Boost setups.
Need Help Choosing the Right Offset?
If you plan to install a larger chainring or are unsure which offset is suitable for your bike, please contact PASS QUEST customer service before ordering.
We can guide you through the measurement process and help determine the appropriate offset and maximum chainring size your frame can accommodate.
Important: Please confirm your exact crankset model, chainline, rear hub spacing, and chainring-to-frame clearance before purchasing. Rear hub spacing alone does not guarantee compatibility.
6. Installation Instructions
Two small positioning marks on the back of the chainring indicate the crank-facing side.
During installation:
-
Locate the two small positioning marks on the back of the chainring.
-
Position the marked side toward the crank.
-
Rotate the chainring into the correct mounting position.
-
Secure the chainring according to the crankset manufacturer's installation instructions.
